March 6, 2013

Press Release - For Immediate Release

The Port Stockton Motorcycle Club received the Friend of the AMA Award for its longstanding support of the AMA mission. The PSMC has been an AMA club from its founding in 1937 and all club members are AMA members as well. The men and women of PSMC participate in numerous AMA-sanctioned activities each year, including recreational and philanthropic events.

"It is a honor to have Port Stockton Motorcycle Club chosen for such a prestigious award," said PSMC President Rick Pierce. "Port Stockton MC has been chartered with the AMA since 1937, and never in all those years has there been a break in AMA membership. All members of our fine club are also members of AMA. Ours is, and always has been, a family club promoting safe and fun riding, and PSMC was a pioneer in allowing women full active membership and voting rights just like the men. When the membership bought our property, women were there alongside the men with mortar and bricks erecting the building that would later be known as the August 'Sharkey' Alverez Memorial Club Hall. We thank the AMA for recognizing us as a premier AMA-chartered club."
